stimulated - Story 139737 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news landed like a punch to the gut. "I'm selling the bakery," Chris said, his voice flat. Sarah felt a peculiar tightness in her chest, a sudden need to be somewhere else, anywhere else. This was more than just a move; it was the end of a chapter.

She stood frozen, the aroma of fresh bread suddenly nauseating. Her hands clenched into fists. She felt a powerful current of energy coursing through her.

"When?" she finally managed to ask, her voice strained. Chris looked at her, his expression unreadable.

She needed to move, to DO something, to stop this churning inside her. She felt like she wanted to be in ten places at once, and nowhere at all.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion stimulated. During extraction, it was fed through Gemma4-31B and its hidden state activations were captured at 11 layers.

The mean activation across all 1,000 stimulated stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the stimulated emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
